Re: Ignite installation errors

Hi,

Does your ignite server have a boot helper in the same subnet as your server?

Re: Ignite installation errors

What model machine is the Ignite server? What network interface? Check the Ignite Release Notes, section 4.3 Networking Issues

There are a limited number of servers that allow network boot from either the built-in network interface or from a supported interface from the table. All other machines must use bootsys.

Arun,
Did you configured instl_bootd daemon and instlboottab file properly?
